Customer Reviews

Great pulp fun with an old fashioned sci-fi feel!

Excellent entry in the series! Can't wait for the rest of the books in this series to be re-released! Hopefully P.M. Griffin will write more books once all the Star Commandos books have been re-released!

And the grades go up again

The space-commando team has to recover and/or destroy a "planet buster" - a planet-scale weapon left behind in the war with the Arcturian Empire. The only problem is that the weapon is hidden deep below the surface, the guide recognizes Sogan as an Arcturian and tries to kill him - and, yeah, there are already a number of bad guys looking for the thing. Besides this, the mission is simple. I liked this a whole lot better than the previous, the writing improves continously. Recommended for space-action fans (even if in this book the space pretty much is missing - the series has enough space-adventure for all).

Third of the Star Commando Series

The charm of this series is the exuberant enthusiasm that the author brings to what is essentially a simple story line. The heroes in this case are a crack commando team who are sent into the deadly underground caverns of Hades to retrieve a weapon called a planetbuster. The commandos led by Islaen Connor, and including her consort Varn, her old companion Jake Karmikel, demolitions expert Bethe Danlo and the irrepessible Bandit, a telepathic birdlike creature, are forced to penetrate deep into Hades, battling nature and bad guys.It's a fun trip.
